Stormwater Monitoring & Compliance Reporting

Understanding Stormwater Regulations

The Clean Water Act requires facilities engaged in industrial activities or construction to obtain stormwater discharge permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. These permits mandate regular monitoring of stormwater runoff, implementation of best management practices, and submission of compliance reports to regulatory agencies. Facilities that fail to comply face significant penalties, enforcement actions, and potential environmental damage.

Who needs stormwater permits? Manufacturing facilities, warehouses, construction sites, auto salvage yards, recycling facilities, and many other industrial operations require NPDES stormwater permits and ongoing compliance monitoring.

​

Our Stormwater Monitoring Services

We provide complete stormwater compliance support tailored to your facility's permit requirements:

• Stormwater sample collection during qualifying rain events

• Chain-of-custody documentation and laboratory coordination

• Analysis for permit-required parameters including pH, TSS, metals, and other pollutants

• Visual assessments of stormwater discharge points and outfalls

• Site inspections to evaluate best management practices effectiveness

• Benchmark monitoring for industrial facilities

• Construction site turbidity monitoring

• Compliance deadline tracking and notification

 

Compliance Reporting and Documentation

Meeting reporting deadlines and maintaining proper documentation are essential for permit compliance. We prepare and submit all required reports to the EPA and New Mexico Environment Department, including quarterly visual assessment reports, annual monitoring reports, and discharge monitoring reports. Our team ensures your facility maintains complete compliance records and responds promptly to agency requests or permit modifications.

​

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans

Every permitted facility must develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that identifies potential pollutant sources and outlines control measures. We assist with SWPPP development, updates, and annual reviews to ensure plans reflect current site conditions and regulatory requirements. Our practical approach focuses on implementing effective and maintainable best management practices that prevent stormwater contamination.

​

Violation Response and Corrective Actions

When monitoring results exceed permit limits or inspections identify deficiencies, swift corrective action is essential. We help facilities investigate exceedances, identify root causes, implement corrective measures, and document remedial actions for regulatory agencies. Our proactive approach minimizes compliance risks and demonstrates good faith efforts to maintain environmental protection.
